How to destroy a bricked Nexus 7. Take it apart, remove the battery, take a sledge; then put all the pieces in your cat litter bag. No one's getting at anything ever.

Loved the part on the bricked Nexus 7; mine (2013) died two weeks after Lollipop. Bricked just as described, logo and then nothing. I'm not a coder but I can read all directions, follow them and search out workarounds - none of that worked. Pissed me off losing my Nexus 7. That was followed by my Note 4 (TMO) becoming a pile of poop after 5.01; it was laggy from the get go but afterwards - Sammy and TMO collaborated on a terrible upgrade. The only good thing was the GS6 was out and I had my Jump.
